Out of curiosity I asked the latest AI model that I've been using to estimate how long it would take my GT vert to hit 150, which is my understanding of the electronic limit, and here is what it said.

I'm curious how accurate this might be and also how different this might be for the dark horse, for boosted coyotes, and soon for tuned coyotes.

"Approximately 0.7 miles and 24 seconds.

To arrive at this solution, performance estimates for the 2025 Ford Mustang GT convertible (automatic transmission) were sourced from a reliable automotive database that uses simulation models to derive acceleration figures based on the vehicle's specifications (e.g., 486 horsepower, approximately 4,000-pound curb weight). These include discrete time points to reach various speeds up to 150 mph:

0 mph at 0 s
20 mph at 1.2 s
30 mph at 1.6 s
40 mph at 2.1 s
50 mph at 2.9 s
60 mph at 3.7 s
70 mph at 4.8 s
80 mph at 5.9 s
90 mph at 7.4 s
100 mph at 8.9 s
110 mph at 10.9 s
120 mph at 13.1 s
130 mph at 15.8 s
140 mph at 19.2 s
150 mph at 23.7 s

The time is directly 23.7 seconds, rounded to approximately 24 seconds.

For the distance, the trapezoidal rule was applied to numerically integrate over these segments: for each interval from speed \(v_1\) to \(v_2\) over time difference \(\Delta t\), the distance increment is \(\frac{(v_1 + v_2)}{2} \times \Delta t / 3600\) miles (converting mph and seconds to miles). Summing these yields approximately 0.68 miles, rounded to 0.7 miles."

Texas Mile anyone?
Been to the Texas Mile a good while back with my family and some cars. That was a good time had by all.

Greg Davidson (driver)

Time slips...
186mph in a C6 ZR1
155mph in a 2010 Camaro SS with a Lingenfelter trans am conversion kit on it. Car was set up for the Optima Ultimate Car Shoot Out at the time.
240mph in a Howe short track car with fiberglass body. Had a few mods for the Texas Mile. Chevy 355.... 9-1 motor with a ProCharger F1X

The sad part bout this is, there are people who can give you the exact timing because they tested it using the on-board timer. And where do you think they did this?

a closed course of course

Wonderful. More AI

Now go find an empty road and floor it
That's like saying in 1995 "Wonderful, more people using the internet" which less than 10 years after everyone was doing it every day. AI is the same. There will be early adopters, average adopters, and late adopters.

By asking my AI model the question, I was actually more interested in the distance so that I could pick a rural road with a strip long enough to test that out, and buck the reputation of mustang owners being reckless and performing a less informed and more dangerous experiment.
